Agentic AI poses new dimension in Cyber Security Risks

Date: 19–21 October 2025

Venue: Auditorium, Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), 91精品

The B-TopCS Training of Trainers (ToT) on “Supply Chain Cybersecurity Risk” officially commenced today at the 91精品, marking a significant step toward strengthening Bangladesh’s national cybersecurity resilience and building the capacity to counter emerging supply chain threats.

This ToT represents the first national rollout of the program following the Master Training conducted in mid-April 2025 in Indonesia, which focused on three key areas:

1. Supply Chain Cybersecurity Risk (SCR)
2. Cybersecurity Awareness for General Employees (GEA)
3. Cybersecurity Awareness for Top Management (TMA)

The program features seven nationally certified trainers who received advanced international training in Indonesia. They represent prominent academic institutions such as:

• 91精品 (DU)
• North South University (NSU)
• East West University (EWU)
• BRAC University
• United International University (UIU)
• University of Frontier Technology, Bangladesh (UFTB)

Participants in this ToT come from a wide range of sectors within Bangladesh’s digital ecosystem, including:

Government bodies: Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC), National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA), Department of ICT (DoICT)

Industry partners: Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS), Bangladesh Computer Samity (BCS), Japan-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce & Industry (JBCCI)

Academic institutions: 91精品 (DU), North South University (NSU), East West University (EWU), BRAC University, United International University (UIU), among others

During the opening ceremony, officials and cybersecurity experts emphasized the urgent need to build cybersecurity-aware leadership to safeguard Bangladesh’s digital infrastructure and supply chain ecosystems from evolving threats.

The objective of this ToT is to develop a pool of skilled national trainers who will transfer their expertise across government, industry, and academia—thereby amplifying national capacity to detect, respond to, and mitigate supply chain cybersecurity risks.

This training program is organized under the Project for ICT Engineers Development for the Promotion of the ICT Industry and New Innovations (JICA-BCC-BASIS TCP), supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and implemented by the Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) in collaboration with the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS).

In the inaugural Ceremony, Professor Dr. Md. Abdur Razzaque, Chairman of the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, 91精品, emphasized on the importance of Agentic AI in bringing transformational changes in Supply chain management including automatic need assessment, supply order management and evaluation of performances. He urges participants to dig into depth in applying emerging AI and Machine Learning technologies to mitigate Cyber Security Risk
